Equipment
Keep your legs straight and together, then slowly lift them up in front of you until they are parallel with the ground.
Once your legs are parallel to the ground, use your hips to raise your legs towards your chest, keeping them as straight as possible.

Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
